Abstract
High precision measurements of the fusion excitation functions for the reactions 40Ca + 194Pt, 192Os clearly demonstrate that projectile excitation significantly modifies the potential barrier distribution. In sharp contrast, fusion of 16O + 144Sm appears to show no influence of the projectile excitation on the shape of the barrier distribution. These apparently conflicting conclusions are reconciled in this work, using realistic coupled--channels calculations, which show that high energy states produce an adiabatic potential renormalisation. This result indicates that adiabatic effects restrict, in a natural way, the states which influence the shape of a fusion barrier distribution. The analysis of barrier distributions thus offers a criterion for the relevance of the `counter term' prescription in the Caldeira-Leggett approach.
